Wednesday at 80 P. NJ, a special
train Of three ears arrived in salina,
bearing General Manager Potter,

railway. They made q trip to Me-
Pherson in the afternoon, returning
to Sslina, when they Immediately
pulled out for Lincoln, getting back
to Salina at $3.50 P. NJ, to spend the
night. The mayor, with several
members Of the council and few
citizens attempted TO call on them,
but through some mistake in
regard to the hour Of their arrival
failed to find them lat home. q"
Taylor Miller, however. secured
an audience, and was out over the
ground Of the Santa Fe right Of way
with them, to which they strongly
object, where Il touches their terri
tory. They will enter a strong pro-
test against the Santa Fe entering
their ground, and Mr.. Potter said he
had been referred by the Santa Fe
company to the city of Saline in re-
gard to the matter, and accordingly
had served an injunction ON the city
restraining further work on said
right Of way until after a hearing
can be had on the question, and APP
pointed the 9th day Of July as the
date Of said hearing, which will take
place in Topeka. He also told Mr..
Miller that he had only kindly feel
ihgs for Salina, and that he har-
bored no old grudge against the
city that might have existed with
his predecessors. He was in favor
of union depot in Salina, but said
that nothing AS yet had been mem
toned to him about the matter. He
is ready 10 meet Low, Of the Rock
Island, and Robinson, Of the Santa
Fe, at any time, in Chicago, st.
Louis, Omaha or Salina, and ar
range for it. Mr.. Miller recon-
mended that they meet here so as to
look over the ground, and gained
Mr.. Potter's consent to write 10
these men and fix date for such
meeting, which will take place here
at time that will be agreeable to
all. In regard to building, lie told
Mr.. Miller tlat they would complete
their line north, but that they were
50 handicapped that they could not
for the present extend IL cir SOUTH
ern line any further. He did not
know what might be done in The
near future. Mr.. Miller left them
in good spirits, with promises that
the next time they visited Salina
carriages would be at their service
TO show them the city, which would
have been done this time, had the
hour Of their arrival been more
generally known. They spent the
might here, and this morning at $3.50
their train pulled out eastward. 1t
would seem as if now was the time
to clinch the Union depot question,
as all the different roads have signi-
fed their willingness to enter into
such an arrangement, and about all
that is needed is to bring the
matter to a focus. Let the proper
effort be made now, and Saliua will
secure the finest depot between Kan
sas City and Denver. We have
tn roads, now ali we want is the
depot.
